ter addressed to Newark gentleman con
corning the complaint of young man who
had been discharged from the New York

was not the enunciation of a new, but of an
old policy He said the former system of
management of the navy was very bad, and
be hal changed it much to its advantage, and
in doing this he had changed the personnel
The meaning of his letter was that he did
not feel called upon TO specify cause for
the removal of any person in navy yard.
Life was too short to exactly locate causes
of bad management, but when man was
unsatisfactory he was removed, no matter
who appointed HIM Where it is shown that

SPENDING THE SURPLUS.
TREASURY STATEMENT THAT PUTS A
DIFFERENT FACE ON AFFAIRS.

Prospect of Heavy Decrease in the Sur
plus During July and August-Secretary
Whitney Replies to Query-BIack Fix
es the Pension Attorneys Fee New
Postal Treaty.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 1.-The follow
ing statement in reference to the national
finances is authorized by the treasury depart
ment:
The estimated receipts and expenditures of
the government in the months of July aud
August show that there will be decrease
rather than an Increase of the treasury sur
plus during that time After providing for
the SIS, 10000 of 3 per cent bonds due July
LIST, the surplus will be about S37, vO0, 900.
The pension appropriation of S76, 075, 900 for
the fiscal year ending June 30 1887, is already
exhausted; consequently the pension bureau
reports that when the new appropriation be-
comes available on July i, it will draw $l2,
100000 for the payment of pensions This
will leave in the treasury a surplus
of S25,000,O00. The government as
sets in national bank repositories
on July will about equal that sum, so that
substantially the whole government balance
will thus he available for the current business
of the country on July ], and will probably
continue thus available for some months, for
the amount of government deposits in national
banks constantly increases, and in August
another SIP 900, D0U will he drawn for pensions.
Accruing interest and ordinary expenses will
require S37, 900, 900 in July and August, and
the receipts for those months will be about
S65, 600 900, leaving on Sept l surplus, less
siderations should be noted as affecting the
Influence of the treasury upon the finances OF
the country One is that of the above esti-
mated receipts more than 81, 900 900 will
com, e not from taxation but from the profit
on the coinage of the silver dollar.
Another is that during July and Au
gust the government will expend al
least 100000 in the purchase of silver
bullion, which sum is not included in the
above estimated expenditures. Another is
that s7,0O0,000 of the surplus is got by call
ing cash that amount of trade dollars re
deemed and melted into bars.
Last year the treasury surplus in July anC
and August ranged from S15, 100000, to Ss5,
00l, 900, as against from SlS,000,0 900 to $40
00O, 900 this year, when a comparison is made
upon the same basis, while the deposits ii

During the fiscal year ending June 80, 1887
